The Scaled Moved - Thank GOD

Well guys I got on the scale this morning and thank god it moved.  I lost 2lbs.  Yesterday I was feeling a little down in the dumps because I got on the scale an it still said 257 got up this morning and walla 255.  Now I got on the scale like 3 times just to make sure it was correct.  Those damn digital scales.  Anyway, it said the same thing all three times and that works for me.  I will take it.

Yesterday I was so damn tired from the night before being in the hospital until 2:30a.m. with my daugher, so I didn’t work out at all.  Food intake remained good.  Only thing is though didn’t get much water in.  I didn’t feel like to much of anything yesterday because I was so tired.  I didn’t skip any meals though.  I will exercise tonight with my hip hop abs.  So all in all it has been a good week.

 Kama - I got your message honey and I will call you tonight.  I went to bed early last night because I was so darn tired. 

Angela - What can I say, girl you know I love you and will always be here for you!!!!!!1

Kim - Thanks for letting me vent to you yesterday!

Just want to thank everybody for their comments I appreciate each and every one of you.  Have a blessed Friday!

Children’s Hospital (A joke or what) Advice please

Had to take my 4yr old daughter to the emergency room last night.  Her eye was swollen shut.  Turns out she had a sty (basically something like pink eye) I really can’t do anything but put warm compresses or hot tea bags on it to draw out whatever is in it.  We get to the hospital about 9:30 p.m. we did not get out of their until 2:30 a.m.  By this time I am livid and lost all my patience.  My six year old was with me he was totally exhausted my patience done ran thin.  I lost my mind in that hospital.  I cursed those monkey’s (I really wanna call them a bunch of b*tches but I am gonna be nice) out.  How can a hospital make you wait that long.  The place wasn’t even busy.  They were so busy talking instead of trying to get the patients out of their.  Trust me I will be writing a letter.  This was totally unacceptable.

So now on to diet and exercise.  So I got on the scale this morning and I am still at 257.  I am feeling down in the dumps a little.  I have eaten right all week and exercised everyday and getting plenty of water in.  Thinking to myself no way I am plateauing already it has only been going on 2 weeks.  Last week I lost 6lbs and was feeling great.  I didn’t expect the same numbers but I wanted at least 1-2lbs.  More so hoping for 2lbs.  Any advice you guys can give to help me move that scale a little would be great.

 Well guys thanks for letting me vent and again any advice you can give would be more than welcomed.

To all my buddies thanks for all the love and support.

Kindness of strangers

I was walking up the street to work this morning, from PSNY to my office (1 block) and I was tired kinda grouchy and sore from walking up all those steps yesterday.  I get to the red light waiting for it to turn green and this guys (I must say he was fine) says good morning beautiful so instantly I started to smile.  He was somewhat flirtatious stating just looking into your beautiful eyes has made my day.  We introduced ourselves exchanged names and what not.  All of a sudden I had this burst of energy, was no longer tired or sore.  It’s amazing how a simple comment can make a person feel special.  If I wasn’t married I would have gave dude the number, but I am not a cheater but damn if I wasn’t flattered.

Just a simple sentence can really make a persons day.  I am still smiling about this and this happened 7:00 a.m. this morning and now it is going on 1:00 p.m.  Amazing.

 So I wanted to share my story, I just thought it was sweet.

Now onto diet and exercise.  So far so good this week.  Food intake has been good.  Haven’t eaten anything I shouldn’t have.  Exercised everyday this week.  All in all been a good week, knock on wood and with God’s help I will lose 2lbs this week.  Keeping my fingers crossed.  Lost 6lbs last week, would love to add to that number.

 Have a great day and thanks for reading.

Temptation is a son of a ya no

Well walked around Manhattan NY a little today.  A friend of mine was with me (we won’t mention who she is but she knows who she is) and this heifer (no just kidding she knows I love her) tried to tempt me with Krispy Kreme donoughts.  She even bought it after I told her know.  You no what, I didn’t eat it, wasn’t even tempted.  I can’t believe it, because I love donoughts and cakes.  Hell I love all sweets.  So all in all was a good day.  Still can’t believe I didn’t eat that donought. 

Loving this will power, I wonder how long it will last with the Holiday’s around the corner. 

So while walking thru Penn Station I walked up and down all the steps, didn’t take the escalator not once.  If you know Penn Station, those steps are no joke.  We are talking like at least 60 steps trying to get to street level.  So I feel good.  I came home from work energized, and worked out more with my Hip Hop Abs. 

Just wanted to share my experience today.  Hope everybody is doing great.

Weighed in and LOST

Friday - I came home from work and received Billy Blane’s Taebo Bootcamp in the mail.  I was so excited so I worked out with him.  Boy oh boy is that a work out or what.  I was sweating like a pig within the first 5 mins.  It was great still sore this morning.  Anyway after the work out I decided I had more energy to burn so I worked out with Hip Hop Abs (I just love this DVD).  I am paying for this all this extra today.  WOW am I sore. 

Saturday - So I weigh in this morning and I lost 6lbs since last Saturday.  I am so happy I shed a couple of tears.  I started saying to myself, these workout dvd’s really work.  I am going to workout today with my Hip Hop Abs and take tomorrow off because that is just God’s day.

I wanted to say thank you to all of my buddies for all of the love and support and let you guys know the scale moved.  HOOOORAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Have a great day!

TGIF - Thanks God its Friday

Good morning everyone. 

As I said before, its been a great week.  Except for Wednesday did have a slice of that birthday cake, not a big slice but a slice none the less.  Skipped the ice cream.  Exercised everyday except Wednesday. 

Glad it’s Friday so I can start my Christmas shopping.  Don’t know why I waited until last minute but what the hell.  Everything seems to get cheaper the closer you get to Christmas.

Going to workout with my Hip Hop Abs when I get home.  I can’t stress enough how much I love this work out.  It’s just so fun.

Well happy Friday everyone.

Angela - will call you later thanks again for all the support.

Thursday and Keep Keeping On

Hey guys, haven’t blogged but I have been online checking out everything.

All in all it has been a good week.  I have exercised and ate right every day except Wednesday.  Yesterday was my son’s birthday, I was stuck on the train for over 3hrs (I commute back and forth to NY from PA) so I didn’t get home until after 6:30.  Still had to help kids with homework cause lord knows my husband is  not skilled in this area.  Anyway by the time all that was done I was thoroughly exhausted and had no energy to exercise, I did eat a slice (1 slice) of birthday cake, no ice cream, just the cake so I didn’t overendulge.

 Well hope you guys are having a great week.

Angela - I just wanna shout out to you, girl thanks for being their for me today.  I love you. 

Tuesday and still going strong

Good morning.  This weekend was great.  I started exercising again and eating right on Saturday and so far so good.  Still hate the treadmill but did walk a mile yesterday and worked out with Hip Hop Abs.(I like the eliptical machine much better). 

 Shout out to all my buddies for being so supportive.

A little joke to start the day:

A good husband always does right by his wife
A woman was in a coma. She had been in it for months.
Nurses were in her room giving her a sponge bath.
One of them was washing her private area and noticed that there was
a slight response on the monitor when she touched her. They tried it
again and sure enough there was sizable movement.


They went to her husband and explained what happened, telling him,
“As crazy as this sounds, maybe a little oral s*x will do the trick and
bring her out of the coma.”
The husband was skeptical, but they assured him that they’d close
the curtains for privacy. The husband finally agreed and went into his
wife’s room. After a few minutes the woman’s monitor flat lined, no
pulse, no heart rate.

The nurses ran back into the room.
“What happened!?” they cried.

The husband said, “I’m not sure….maybe she choked?

Have a great day everybody eat right and exercise.

Back on track

After my revelation yesterday (gained 22lbs), I am officially back on track.  Went shopping and brought all my fresh fruit and veggies and have my menu’s planned out for next week (for the most part).  Walked around the mall a little while got some exercise in.  Also going to work out with my Hip Hop Abs.

Hve been good on my food take today.

 Well guys hope your having a great day.
